Description   As if an Anne Frank in the Tropics, the main character in a book is a child surrounded by evil that no child should know. Anita lives in the Dominican Republic during the dark days of the Trujillo era. By circumstances beyond her own control Anita sees her family slowly disintegrate after some of her relatives fled to exile, her own father and brother are taken into custody and her mother and herself are are forced to hide in a closet to save their lives. The tale told from Anita's perspective gives us a view of the horror muted by the innocence of a young child. Another example of the master storyteller that is Julia Alvarez.   Other Related Products...
